Num.35
[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses in the plains of Moab by Jordan near Jericho, saying,
[2] Command
the children of Israel, that they give unto the Levites of the inheritance of their possession cities to dwell
in; and ye shall give also unto the Levites suburbs for the cities round about them.
[3] And the cities shall
they have to dwell in; and the suburbs of them shall be for their cattle, and for their goods, and for all
their beasts.
[4] And the suburbs of the cities, which ye shall give unto the Levites, shall reach from the
wall of the city and outward a thousand cubits round about.
[5] And ye shall measure from without the
city on the east side two thousand cubits, and on the south side two thousand cubits, and on the west
side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits and the city shall be in the midst: this
shall be to them the suburbs of the cities.
[6] And among the cities which ye shall give unto the Levites
there shall be six cities for refuge, which ye shall appoint for the manslayer, that he may flee thither: and
to them ye shall add forty and two cities.
[7] So all the cities which ye shall give to the Levites shall be
forty and eight cities: them shall ye give with their suburbs.
[8] And the cities which ye shall give shall
be of the possession of the children of Israel: from them that have many ye shall give many; but from
them that have few ye shall give few: every one shall give of his cities unto the Levites according to his
inheritance which he inheriteth.
[9] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[10] Speak unto the children
of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come over Jordan into the land of Canaan;
[11] Then ye shall
appoint you cities to be cities of refuge for you; that the slayer may flee thither, which killeth any person
at unawares.
[12] And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die
not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment.
[13] And of these cities which ye shall give six
cities shall ye have for refuge.
[14] Ye shall give three cities on this side Jordan, and three cities shall
ye give in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.
[15] These six cities shall be a refuge,
both for the children of Israel, and for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them: that every one
that killeth any person unawares may flee thither.
[16] And if he smite him with an instrument of iron,
so that he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[17] And if he smite him with
throwing a stone, wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put
to death.
[18] Or if he smite him with an hand weapon of wood, wherewith he may die, and he die, he
is a murderer: the murderer shall surely be put to death.
[19] The revenger of blood himself shall slay
the murderer: when he meeteth him, he shall slay him.
[20] But if he thrust him of hatred, or hurl at him
by laying of wait, that he die;
[21] Or in enmity smite him with his hand, that he die: he that smote him
shall surely be put to death; for he is a murderer: the revenger of blood shall slay the murderer, when he
meeteth him.
[22] But if he thrust him suddenly without enmity, or have cast upon him any thing without
laying of wait,
[23] Or with any stone, wherewith a man may die, seeing him not, and cast it upon him,
that he die, and was not his enemy, neither sought his harm:
[24] Then the congregation shall judge
between the slayer and the revenger of blood according to these judgments:
[25] And the congregation
shall deliver the slayer out of the hand of the revenger of blood, and the congregation shall restore him
to the city of his refuge, whither he was fled: and he shall abide in it unto the death of the high priest,
which was anointed with the holy oil.
[26] But if the slayer shall at any time come without the border of
the city of his refuge, whither he was fled;
[27] And the revenger of blood find him without the borders of
the city of his refuge, and the revenger of blood kill the slayer; he shall not be guilty of blood:
[28] Because
he should have remained in the city of his refuge until the death of the high priest: but after the death
of the high priest the slayer shall return into the land of his possession.
[29] So these things shall be
